Mark 11118 the gospel the
Lamb on his throne
2

• I am going to send you my servant the Branch
  Thus says the Lord of hosts, Behold, a man whose
  name is Branch He will build the temple of the
  Lord and he will bear the honor and sit and rule
  on His throne. Thus, he will be a priest on his
  throne, and the counsel of peace will be between
  the two offices.
• Zechariah 38 612,13
  (cf. Isaiah 111 Jeremiah 235,6)

3

• The Lamb is Lord of lords and King of kings
  The angel then showed me a river with the water
  of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the
  throne of God and the Lamb. It flowed down the
  center of the main street. On each side of the
  river grew the tree of life, bearing twelve crops
  of fruit, one each month. The leaves were for the
  healing of the nations. No longer will there be
  any curse for the throne of God and the Lamb will
  be there
  Revelation 1714 2213

• 111 As Jesus and his disciples approached
  Jerusalem, they came to the towns of Bethphage
  and Bethany on the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent
  two of them on ahead. 2 Go into that village
  over there, he told them. As soon as you enter
  it, you will see a young donkey tied there that
  no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it
  here. 3 If anyone asks, What are you doing?
  just say, The Lord needs it and will return it
  soon.

• 4 The two disciples left and found the colt
  standing in the street, tied outside a front
  door. 5 As they were untying it, some bystanders
  demanded, What are you doing, untying the colt?
  6 They said what Jesus had told them to say, and
  they were permitted to take it. 7 Then they
  brought the colt to Jesus and threw their
  garments over it, and he sat on it.
